Users of the Internet Explorer web browser do not have the same amount of add-ons at their disposal like Firefox users. Some developers try to change this with plugins or programs that they develop for Microsoft’s Internet Explorer. One of those software programs is a proxy switcher for Internet Explorer. This is for example useful for users with company netbooks that have to regularly switch proxy servers depending on their location.

Quick Proxy Switcher is a lightweight 60 Kilobyte application for Internet Explorer that makes it easier to change proxy servers in the web browser. The portable application will display its main interface after execution which will display the currently configured proxy server in Internet Explorer or a blank if none is configured.

There are lines for adding and changing the default proxy server and one alternative proxy server in Internet Explorer which can be easily switched by clicking on the set button in the interface. Minimizing the application will add a system tray icon which provides a similar functionality by right-clicking it.

Users can activate the default or alternative proxy server from that menu right away. The program is best used if Internet Explorer is closed as this is usually needed to change settings in the web browser. It does however work fine with the most popular editions of Internet Explorer including Internet Explorer 8. Quick Proxy Switcher requires the Microsoft .net Framework.
